Hancocks rip off international customers with what they charge for shipping. Other companies like Missouri Quilts, EQuilter, Craft Connections etc. continue to ship to Australia at a reasonable rate but Hancocks, as well as Marshall Dry Goods, have chosen to use the most expensive way to ship overseas. It now works out to about USD100 for 9yds of fabric (OVER $11 FOR EVERY YARD YOU BUY)🤬 whereas the other shops I have mentioned ship the same 9yds for about $40. They arrive quickly as well, so it’s not the cost that dictates the speed. EQuilter is even cheaper - if you spend over $85 they cut the shipping cost to half. International shipping is free if you spend $100 at Craft Connections. If anyone else knows of online quilting stores that don’t deliberately rip off international customers, please post the details. We have very few quilting shops here and love to buy from the US!
Zincks fabrics. They have stores in several states and sell online. They are amish and you can most often pay $6.99 yd, depending. Also lots of knits and lace. Fun place.
Connecting Threads has fabulous sales. I just purchased 11 yards of coordinates, plus 2, 3 yard cuts of 108 for about $56. $3.50 / yard plus $10.50/ yard for the 108. Shipping $7. And it isn’t the first time.
Although a big store, Hancock’s of Paducah has great prices and their customer service is awesome. I also but from Ft Worth Fabrics and Calico Creations. Both of these sites are smaller shops.
I wish we had some here in Australia! Most shops here sell the famous name fabrics, and we pay through the teeth. Postage and conversion prices are a killer. Have to resort to the Joanne type stores here and even they cost an arm and a leg. You’re very lucky, Fallon. ❤️🇦🇺
Hi Fallon, I'm retired on a budget but finally have some time to learn to quilt! I really appreciate your tips and videos. Some of the other quilter's videos I've viewed make quilting seem 😢 too pricey...and overwhelming. When I watch yours I'm reminded...it's supposed to be fun! Thanx for the tips. Happy quilting. NanaB
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! It can definitely be an expensive hobby, but there are so many options out there to make it budget friendly too!
Quilt Fabric Closeouts has a great selection and great prices. Another favorite is Marshall Dry Goods. They carry their own brands but also name brands too.
We LOVE Quilter's Consignment and shop there often. It is such a blessing to live close to this wonderful resource. The selection is amazing and the prices can't be beat. The owner, Terri, is an avid quilter who really knows her stuff and she has a huge heart for helping the community. I'm so glad to see such an awesome store featured here!
Oh wow! I just ordered from the first time from Quilter's Consignment, and tomorrow I will probably go to the store (it's just up the road from me), and check out the consignment fabrics. I am soooo excited! Glad to see your video today, cuz now I'm even more pumped to go.
Thousands of Bolts is an online-only shop for quilting fabric. They charge as low as $5.39 a yard and carry all the well-known brands. I've bought tons from them and have never had a problem. Both their service and their product are excellent.
@@sewbeitquilts They email specials which include curated 1/2 yd cuts (6-8 cuts n a bundle). They do many panels, I don't, but the email is worth it for those 1/2 yds.-very inexpensive.
I don't often comment, but I really like your channel. I'm retired and live on a budget so thank you for the great info! Nice fabric at a doable price. Lots of options to choose from. I was happy to find Boundless fabric at The Quilting Cat and their kits are reasonable.
I like 1000s of Bolts online shop. Great prices and service. My Favorite Quilt Store online sells End of Bolts in their own category and I love the treasure hunt there.
Thanks for the info Fallon. I've been buying quilting supplis from TEMU because prices at regular quilt shops are way beyond what I and my sister can afford on social security. They have a good selection and very low prices but no name brands. We'll being checking quality on our next quilt. It will be the first time we've tried their fabric. We'll let you know how it goes. Have a great week!
If your in Maine there are 13 shops in the state that average $6 Aprox. . This is a discount store that gets stuff from other stores, closeouts . Great deals.
I didn't realize you made the Quilter's Slidelock rulers! I have two older ones that are clear see through. I really do love them as they have saved my fingers. I also enjoy cutting from the other side as I feel it helps keep my mind sharp that I can do this. As far a fabric, I only buy quality name brands as I don't want to waste my time with fabric that won't stand the test of time. Many small shops and online quilt shops have great sales. You have to be careful that you're getting 100% quality quilting cotton.
I have purchased some great fabric at close out prices from Quiltin Tia, an online store based in Texas. She packages 5 1 yd bundles for her great patterns and always has something on sale.
Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Great info for those who want fabric, but think it's gotten quite expensive. Much appreciated! Blessings to y'all.
Thanks for all the online fabric stores listed in this post. I am aware of many of them but learned of a few new ones. Very appreciative of all the sharing of info. ❤❤
The first four suggestions are part of my fabric shopping spots. The Lowe’s had me wondering. What,on earth, could be there! The drop cloth is such a great idea. So many suggestions! One more that I was thinking of was to use for pillow backing, or even using in quilt blocks themselves. Love your channel. Keep up your advice!
There aren't many quilt shops around me. There is one small fabric thrift store I go to at times. What stops me sometimes from ordering online is delivery methods. I live in an apartment complex, and most delivery companies do not deliver to my apartment door. My purchases have been stolen when left in a main office area I cannot access. I just order online now when delivery is done but the US postal service.
@@sewbeitquilts it's a shame that the delivery companies have their drivers on a timer. It takes them an extra 3 minutes or so to drive down the hill to find my apartment door, so they leave packages in a foyer near a "main entrance" that only a dozen people can access. I dropped Missouri Star Quilt Company and others because of this. Now Fat Quarter Shop is my go to shop. The USPS puts packages in my mailbox, our package box, or knocks on my door. They never leave a package outside to be stolen. I love FQS but I do miss sales from other online stores. I also gave up trying to get the newspaper or pizza delivered,lol. I leave explicit instructions, but most drivers just ignore them and use GPS only. Oh well. In the end it's just a small problem to have, really. And there's always Amazon drop boxes for other things.
My favorites not already mentioned are Thousands of Bolts (online only) and Mulqueen's (online + local stores in Mesa AZ area). I agree, Green Fairy Quilts has great prices and then they have sales on top of that AND GFQ has the just released fabric for those prices. I also like Brooklyn Fabric Co in Brooklyn, IA. They have clearance fabrics and it shares my USPS hub so I get it sometimes the next day.
Others mentioned them in comments, but I also recommend MARSHALL DRY GOODS (they sell yardage and bolts of 45" and 108" at very low prices) and GREEN FAIRY QUILTS, which has lots good things at good prices.
Thanks so much for this information! I’ll definitely be checking out the shops mentioned in your video and the comments. I wish I had one to add, but I don’t at this time. If I find one, I’ll share it here!:)
I too love to quilt and the process. It gives me such a high to purchase beautiful fabric for a great price. Fat Quarter Shop is good but not cheap and the sales are few and far between, customer services is over the top amaing. . Hancocks of Paducah has some great prices. Fabric Shack ok. Whittles Fabric is amazing, the most expensive top quality fabrics are 6.50 a yard, however not a large selection but great prices on lots of stuff. Reproduction Fabrics has nice quilting fabrics. Used to be many more great ones but so many have closed.
@@sewbeitquilts Good to know because I just ordered for first time $40 worth of fabric because I can't afford Quilt shop fabric. The prices were only $4.49 a yard. Can't wait to get the order. 🙂
Thank you for sharing. I did need to ask because you mentioned that you do a lot of quilting. I am searching for an online fabric store that is tailored more for those who like making their clothes. I would love to get this as a gift for my friend's daughter as a gift for her birthday. She is into fashion design and enjoys making her dress and has made her prom dress. Hope you can help.
I am moving out of state (Indiana to Florida) and have at least 20 large plastic bins of fabrics I'd love to consign to someone to sell in their online or storefront shop, but I don't know how to do that. I have all kinds of name brand fabrics in different sizes (no bolts) and some ready for making up a kit, some backing sizes, etc. If you have ideas or know someone who wants lots and lots of fabrics and can figure out how to get them, please contact me.
Fabulous info, especially when new to quilting! Found your beautiful "display" quilt on your channel but noticed the one on the bottom right, folded in the organizer! Is that one listed anywhere on your channel or is the pattern available on your website or Etsy shop?? Thanks!
Thank you! I believe it might be this one. It isn’t my pattern but it is available in a book. Loved the pattern! Let's use our fabric scraps! Oh Scrap! Book Review! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Edr0sp-nG5U.html
The one at the end of the video? It is a jelly roll pattern in the book Jelly Filled by Lella Boutique www.amazon.com/Jelly-Filled_18-Quilts-Strips-Levels/dp/1617458171/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=30IPI1BMC5FN&keywords=lella+boutique+jelly+roll+book&qid=1706925443&sprefix=lella+boutique+jelly+roll+book%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-1
